Mastiff Shotgun

Mastiff Shotgun
A mech shotgun, designed to deliver a heavy punch. This gun cools down specialized pellets to temperatures below -100C, before firing them, causeing the pellet to become brittle and shatter within the body upon impact.

Acquisition
The Mastiff Shotgun can be crafted at the Android Parts Workbench after researching SM7 Battle Mechanoid; for 175 Plasteel, 250 Silver, 4 Advanced Components and 18540 ticks (5.15 mins) of work.

The Mastiff Shotgun may also be obtained by calling down a M7 Battle Mech, though this is random whether the Mech will be carrying one.

Analysis
The Mastiff shotgun excels at close range combat, having the highest potential damage shot for shot of all of the Unique Mech weapons.

However the long cooldown between shots (3.00 seconds) affects the weapons DPS, as well as the need to constantly be within close range, affects the weapons effectiveness.

If given the proper conditions (range, adequate cooldown time, etc.) the Mastiff Shotgun can prove to be strong alternative to other M7 Mech weapons.
